Bloordale Bantam Team
The Bloordale Bantam team (14 and 15 year olds) were the 2010 Champions in West Hill. Bloordale went undefeated, going a remarkable 5-0 over the weekend and culminating in a tense, exciting 11-10 final game win against North Bay. The championship game went back and forth for more than 3 hours before Bloordale won it in the 10th inning with outfielder Brandon Haynes squeezing the final out on a long, loud fly ball to left field with the tying run on third base. The tournament win was a complete team effort. Over the course of the tournament, every single Bloordale player scored and drove in at least two runs. They had solid pitching from a number of hurlers. Five different Bloordale players were named game MVP in each of the team’s games
